This mix started nearly two years ago when I created a playlist on Spotify called "Sax is Back." In there I collected tracks that used a saxophone as a main instrument and had an ambient vibe. I was careful to not let the tunes devolve into Kenny G on the beach schlock. But I still wasn't sure if an entire mix of sax tunes would work, but, I gotta say, this mix turned out really well. It's cohesive and a nice variation on straight forward ambient.

One caveat - I'm not entirely sure that the instrument in every song is indeed a saxophone. Soprano sax can sometimes sound like an oboe so there may be a couple of times where that may happen. But I don't really care, I just love the sound of this whole mix.

A few of my favorite tracks in the mix are:

-  Blue Chamber by Mute Forest from the excellent new album, Riderstorm, on Lost Tribe Sound. 

- A Break in the Clouds by Andrew Heath from Soundings

- Music for Airports by Delta Saxophone Quartet from Bowie, Berlin & Beyond

I hope you enjoy this slight detour into ambient sax.

Cheers!
